Dyna bead follow up

[flavor]

I took the liberty of writing to innovative tire balancing. Their response and my original e-mail follows.

Jim,
Yes, his son is correct about Sand (powder, etc) inside tires. This
type of material is very irregular, has sharp edges and is extremely
abrasive to the inner liner. Any product that is not perfectly round
will have this problem. If you want to see why this problem occurs,
take a look at the Fleet page and the photo's that describe this problem
with competitors products. Powders and mixtures of materials will wear
the liners because they slide inside your tires, they don't roll. Any
time something slides, it creates friction, and wears the surface, like
sandpaper on wood.

All new tires have rubber dust from the manufacturing process inside.
The beads will knock these loose, and some rubber dust may be visible,
but because of the perfectly round shape and the smooth exterior, Dyna
Beads will not cause abrasion themselves. The Beads may discolor from
the liner from rolling on it. We have never had a complaint of Dyna
Beads causing abrasion inside the tire.

Whoever the customer is, would would appreciate a phone call so we can
make an effort to satisfy the customer and get this resolved.

Regards,
Carol

installed Dyna Beads. With about 500 miles on the new tires every time the tires
warmed up I would get a vibration like I lost a wheel weight. After fighting it
for several rides I decided to take the front wheel off and really check it
over. I might be out of my mind but I convinced myself that what was happening
was that when the tires got warm static electricity was building up and the Dyna
Beads was clumping together causing a balance problem. So I broke down the tire
to vacuum the Dyna Beads out but when I looked in the tire I was shocked to find
the tire had a large amount of rubber dust inside of it. The tumbling Dyna Beads
where eating up the inside of the tire.
